If you are able to install software on that embedded system
(for example you have a crosscompiler for that system and
you are able to upload compiled software to that system) then
it is easy to crosscompile Bird and install it.

There are some minor issues with crosscompilation of Bird -
you have to patch 'configure' script to skip endianity test.

Definitely, i should make a package for OpenWRT Linux
(distribution targeted for embedded routers).
